Its still not the tradition Office layout though with File Edit etc... so you still have to re learn where everything has moved to.

Oh, I see. I'm really out of touch on these matters. I use Word and Excel 2003 on the PC at work. But on the Mini I have at home, there isn't a single Microsoft app. _________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b

I gave up on MacBU after the delays in getting Office 2008 out on the market. That native iWork came out first, then we got Numbers, and I just never looked back. iWork basically offers everything I need at a more reasonable price. I also appreciate the clean and snappy interface.

Since switching to OSX, I've kept my Windows2000 laptop to run Word for drawing purposes (simple 2D stuff). I know it's not designed for that but I just got used to draw on a 1 mm background grid as if I were drawing by pencil on 1 mm grid paper. I've tried doing the same in OpenOffice, but the drawing facility there is much more ackward and plainly tiresome. Does anyone have experience with the drawing facility in Office/Word 2008 for Mac, assuming that in the 2011 version it'll work similarly (or better)?
